Post Operative rehabilitation
Orthopaedics: spinal surgery
We aim to assess, treat and thereby improve the movement and functional capabilities
of patients following many kinds of spinal surgery.
What is involved in the assessment?
Each patient will receive an assessment so treatment plans can be specifically tailored to each individuals needs and personal goals.
The assessment reviews your pain levels, spinal range of movement, muscle strength, quality of movement, walking pattern and functional abilities relative to your pre-operative status.
What treatment is involved?
Treatment sessions focus on addressing the needs highlighted by the initial assessment and will be constantly reviewed as your abilities improve.
Treatments commonly include:
Treatment can also address, as appropriate, any specific goal you have for yourself.
All exercises can be adapted for the land or hydrotherapy pool, as appropriate to each individuals needs.
How often can I expect to have physiotherapy treatment?
Treatments are usually two half hour sessions per day. One morning and one afternoon session. If you are having hydrotherapy, one session will be in the pool and the other in the gym. If hydrotherapy is not suitable for you, both sessions will be in the gym.
Walking aids?
As you progress, you may need to change your walking aid.
Progression is usually made from a walking frame to elbow crutches to walking sticks.
As you progress you may loan our equipment. We can also supply you with walking aids that you may require to take home.
What happens when I go home?
You will be given a home exercise programme to continue with at home.
If you require further physiotherapy and you live in our area you can return to our department for follow up appointments as an outpatient. If you live further away, follow up physiotherapy at a location convenient for you can be organised and written physiotherapy report provided for your new therapist.
